150C<octetstring> is a "binary string" (i.e. a perl string with no character 154C<bdb_filename> is a "filename" (octets on unix, madness on windows),

162 165
166The C<SV *callback> is the optional callback function to call when the
167request is completed. This last callback argument is special: the callback
168is simply the last argument passed. If there are "optional" arguments
169before the callback they can be left out. The callback itself can be left
170out or specified as C<undef>, in which case the function will be executed
171synchronously.
172
173For example, C<db_env_txn_checkpoint> usually is called with all integer
174arguments zero. These can be left out, so all of these specify a call
175to C<< DB_ENV->txn_checkpoint >>, to be executed asynchronously with a
176callback to be called:
177
178 db_env_txn_checkpoint $db_env, 0, 0, 0, sub { };
179 db_env_txn_checkpoint $db_env, 0, 0, sub { };
180 db_env_txn_checkpoint $db_env, sub { };
181
182While these all specify a call to C<< DB_ENV->txn_checkpoint >> to be
183executed synchronously:
184
185 db_env_txn_checkpoint $db_env, 0, 0, 0, undef;
186 db_env_txn_checkpoint $db_env, 0, 0, 0;

567=head2 VERSION CHECKING
568
569BerkeleyDB comes in various versions, many of them have minor
570incompatibilities. This means that traditional "at least version x.x"
571checks are often not sufficient.
572
573Example: set the log_autoremove option in a way compatible with <v4.7 and
574v4.7. Note the use of & on the constants to avoid triggering a compiletime
575bug when the symbol isn't available.

581
582=item BDB::VERSION
583
584The C<BDB::VERSION> function, when called without arguments, returns the
585Berkeley DB version as a v-string (usually with 3 components). You should
586use C<lt> and C<ge> operators exclusively to make comparisons.
587
588Example: check for at least version 4.7.
589
590 BDB::VERSION ge v4.7 or die;
591
592=item BDB::VERSION min-version

594Returns true if the BDB version is at least the given version (specified

602
603Returns true of the BDB version is at least version C<min-version> (specify C<undef> or C<v0> for any minimum version)
604and less then C<max-version>.

600as the request callback, and the second is called to wait until the first 708as the request callback (it should save the return status), and the second
601callback has been called. The default implementation works like this: 709is called to wait until the first callback has been called (it must set
710C<$!> to the return status).
711
712This mechanism can be used to include BDB into other event mechanisms,
713such as L<Coro::BDB>.
714
715To allow other, callback-based, events to be executed while callback-less
716ones are run, you could use this sync prepare function:
602 717
603 sub { 718 sub {
604 my $status; 719 my $status;
605 ( 720 (
606 sub { $status = $! }, 721 sub { $status = $! },
607 sub { BDB::poll while !defined $status; $! = $status }, 722 sub { BDB::poll while !defined $status; $! = $status },
608 ) 723 )
609 } 724 }
610 725
726It works by polling for results till the request has finished and then
727sets C<$!> to the return value. This means that if you don't use a
728callback, BDB would simply fall back to synchronous operations.
729
730By default, or if the sync prepare function is set to C<undef>, is to
731execute callback-less BDB requests in the foreground thread, setting C<$!>
732to the return value, without polling for other events.

772=head1 COMMON PITFALLS
773
774=head2 Unexpected Crashes
775
776Remember that, by default, BDB will execute requests in parallel, in
777somewhat random order. That means that it is easy to run a C<db_get>
778request on the same database as a concurrent C<db_close> request, leading
779to a crash, silent data corruption, eventually the next world war on
780terrorism.
781
782If you only ever use foreground requests (without a callback), this will
783not be an issue (unless you use threads).
784
785=head2 Unexpected Freezes or Deadlocks
786
787Remember that, by default, BDB will execute requests in parallel, which
788easily leads to deadlocks (even concurrent put's on the same database can
789deadlock).
790
791You either need to run deadlock detection (and handle the resulting
792errors), or make sure only one process ever updates the database, ine one
793thread, e.g. by using only foreground requests (without a callback).

834=head1 WIN32 FILENAMES/DATABASE NAME MESS
835
836Perl on Win32 supports only ASCII filenames (the reason is that it abuses
837an internal flag to store wether a filename is Unicode or ANSI, but that
838flag is used for somethign else in the perl core, so there is no way to
839detect wether a filename is ANSI or Unicode-encoded). The BDB module
840tries to work around this issue by assuming that the filename is an ANSI
841filename and BDB was built for unicode support.
